Snickers - Yo Yo Collectible cheapest Handcrafted Fabric Doll

"Snickers"

This yo yo doll is gorgeous in green shades of hand dyed batik fabrics and soft chocolate brown curls of hair.

Snickers was created using 34 yo yos (gathered fabric rounds) from quilting fabric for arms and legs. The body and ruffled collar are also made from the same quilting fabric as well as the hand made backside tag. The head is a yo yo made from soft flannel with a hand drawn face. Snickers' hair is made from thick, soft chocolate brown yarn. New hypoallergenic stuffing was used for the head, body, hands, and feet. Snickers measures approximately 12.5" long lying down and about 9.5" tall when sitting. Snickers can sit on his own when he finds his balance.

Each yo yo doll will include a card with his/her name, date of completion and a poem I wrote to pay tribute to all of those yo yos of yesteryear.

Yo yo clowns/dolls have been around for a long time...you may remember Jingling Jack from the 1950s, and over the years, I have received numerous requests to recreate the cute clown. I apologize for those who have waited so long (years!) for me to come up with my own take of this classic doll. I have tried and discarded many ideas, but I finally settled on a design. :) I didn't want to make just clowns, so I will be posting a little variety of what I am calling "yesterday's yo yo dolls". Enjoy and if you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them. Robin

**I am happy to change the name of a doll if you prefer something different. Include a message at checkout and I will cheapest change the name card accordingly.
